Shin Megami Tensei Series

Yes and no. Cold World and Thunder Reign are on the same level of damage as Trisagion and Deadly Wind, but both are area attacks and Cold World sometimes kills instantly, on top of both being more expensive to cast.

Bah! I went to the Jouhoku region to get Osiris' torso (and I know I was there too. You go to northern Ueno and take that boat that costs 500 macca), but there was nothing there at all.

What the hell?

What the shit? I just followed a guide telling me how to get onto the Neutral path but somehow I still got locked into Law.

The most popular guide is actually a couple points off, unfortunately. Did you side with Jonathan or Walter?

This guide has everything. It's mostly in Thai but IMO pretty easy to understand.

Restarted my DDS file so I can get the correct responses to get all the second game bonuses and stuff.

Wow Heat has a really weak stomach. I guess I just shouldn't be eating too many gross looking demons but I need that Atma.

Looks like Heats stomach can't survive in a world of STR.

ive been told that selecting the first option in every choice until the white give you the choice for the nuking shit will get you neutral.

That's exactly it. Gets me the Expel spell for Argilla, the Almighty spell for Seraph, and Heat for the Sun iirc.

I sided with Jonathan, picked the first option at every question, went left at every question in the Passage of Ethics, and said I'd destroy the status quo. Somehow I still got locked into Law. I think I might have screwed up by talking to the lady that asks if you're a human or demon. I said human which the guide probably didn't account for thus giving me too many law points. Oh well. I guess I'll just side with the White to get the Nothingness ending and try again.

Make two saves before the Reactor, and don't talk to the suicidal woman at all. She's basically a trap.

Good to know.

So I get locked into law if I talk to her then? Since I'm going for the White ending, I'll avoid her.

.....What does she look like?

if shes who i think she is, shes in ikebukuro, near the terminal. she asks you if you're a demon or a human, as a way for her to decide if she regrets her life or accepts it for what it is before she kills herself.

alignment points go in the obvious directions.

Alignment points go ten in the obvious directions. For reference, this is actually equal to the final decision in points given.

Oh shit. I think I remember her, but I don't for the life of me remember what I said to her.

That bitch! Why is something like that so early?

Aw well. I should still be able to do the White even if I end up on Law right? I mean, I just gotta say yes to what they want when the time comes as I understand it right?

Yes, you can do the White Ending.

Like I said, she's basically a trap. There's no way to not talk to her if you enter her room, and no way to not respond to her when you talk to her. Because Atlus, as we all know, nourishes itself on your tears.

Time to poison my tears!

Sure, I'll either go blind, or die, but fuck those guys! I'll make them regret messing with Handsome Rob!

Edit: I found all of Osiris' remains!

Alright Seth, you mother-fucker! You want a piece of Rob! The first piece you get will be my backhand!!!!!!

Edit 2: Oh Seth you poor poor bitch! I'm tripping Bufudyne!

Just ask Oak!

So yeah, that was pretty easy. The one attack he got in, I reflected with Tetrakarn......

That is going to bite me in the ass at some point. I know it is, but I love it.

So, that was my last challenge quest. Now it's time for the Reactor. Tomorrow, I face my destiny.

Did you side with Walter or Jonathan?

I went with Jonathon and killed Lilith.

We're going there to find out what Walter is doing.

So once I let the White kill everyone, what path should I take next?

As I understand, Neutral should come last, so what comes next: Chaos or Law?

I recommend Law first, then Chaos, then finally Neutral.

I think it depends entirely on what you want to do first. If you do Nothingness you'll be on a NG+ which means you'll have access to all the extra challenge quests that unlock Special fusions.

Edit: I did Chaos, Law, and Neutral.

There's not a ton of overall difference between playing Law and Chaos in either order between the Bad and Neutral routes. There's a fairly large number of New Game Plus only quests, though, and most of them are alignment-locked, so the Bad ending at least serves a practical purpose, since it cuts out the last fifth of the game or so.

I'm gonna go with Law (I'm already somewhat on that path since I'm with Jonathan right now, so I'll see how it plays out).

Not a bad choice. I think the Law path is easier overall.

I'm actually okay with Law right up to the finale. And then it turns out that angels are dicks. And Gabriel probably has a time travel related grudge. It's highly amusing that they managed to make punching Mastema's smug face in something you feel mildly guilty about if you've done any other path.

I felt guilty on the Law path itself.
